Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering of graphite on metals

Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering of graphite deposited on Al, Cu and Fe surface has been observed. Ultrathin layers of graphite consisting of only a few carbon monolayers were deposited using a chemical method. Comparing the graphite Raman intensity from these ultrathin layers with those obtained in thicker carbon samples on glass substrates deposited using the sputtering method, the enhancement intensity factor has been determined.
